Removal of the product depends on how it’s made. Oil-based products are harder to remove. Powder and liquid concealers contain different chemicals. The type of chemical determines what to use to remove it. Concealer is similar to foundation in make and color. Remove the stain before washing. Drying the washed article can cause the stain to stick to the fabric forever.
